This is a 57 year-old female who did not like the appearance of her upper lip despite getting fillers and Botox in the past. She reported that her upper lip was longer and flatter than her younger years. We recommended a lip lift under local anesthesia to address the issue. The lip lift was done under local anesthesia at our AAAASF accredited facility in Downers Grove, IL. The patient now reports one year after the procedure that her upper lip appears much fuller and more youthful with eversion of the lips. She now gets a better result with fillers. Think of a lip lift as a ‘permanent lip flip’.
This is a 48 year-old female who presented to the office with complaints of facial aging. On exam, she had a very thin, long upper lip in combination with other signs of facial aging. We recommended a lip lift in combination with a face and neck lift under local anesthesia. The patient notes at one year after the procedure that her upper lip is more full, and her upper lip length is more symmetrical with the rest of her face. Think of a lip lift as a ‘permanent lip flip’.
